INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SC-9 Controller
MODULAR BOILER CONTROLLER SERIES
SC-9 Applications
• Space heat systems with outdoor reset
• Constant temperature setpoint control
• Any of these in combination with domestic
hot water heating
If your system is different than the above, call the Slant/Fin
technical services group at 800-873-4346 to
determine if the control can accommodate it.

The SC-9 is a microprocessor control which will sequence up to
nine heating stages based on outdoor air temperature and supply
water temperature. Designed to handle a Caravan gas-fired,
oil-fired or dual fuel-fired hot water heating plant for space heating
or “Setpoint” operation, or either in combination with domestic
water heating. A large easy to read display provides current
system temperatures and operating status. The control has outputs
for a primary pump and either a combustion air damper or alarm.
ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS INCLUDE:
Primary pump output. Pump exercising. Pump purging. Boiler
demand for space heating loads. Set point demands for set point
loads. Test sequence to ensure proper component operation. CSA
C US certified. Setback input for energy savings.
SPACE HEATING OPERATION: When the outdoor air tempera-
ture drops below a preset value, the heating system is energized.
The SC-9 Controller determines the number of stages required to
meet the space heating needs and fires them. During operation,
the Controller scans system temperatures, adding or deleting
stages as necessary to satisfy heating load.

SETPOINT OPERATION:
The SC-9 adds and deletes stages to minimize the difference
between the desired Setpoint temperature and the actual meas-
ured Supply Water Temperature.
DOMESTIC WATER HEATING:
When configured for “DHW” (Service Water Heating), the control
holds stage #9 out of the Lead/Lag firing sequencing until all other
active stages are energized. Only when the heating load reaches
a maximum will the Stage #9 relay energize. At the same time, a
motorized valve opens allowing the DHW modules to contribute to
space heating. If water temperature in the DHW modules falls
below a pre-set value, the motorized valve will close, retaining
module capacity for domestic water heating.
